IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe
operation be copied and posted near the unit’s installation site. Safety should be stressed to
all operators and potential operators of this equipment.
WARNING:
contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
GENERAL HAZARDS
The engine exhaust from this product
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and main-
tenance of this equipment is carried out by an
Authorized Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-
ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if
breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust
system must be installed properly, in strict com-
pliance with applicable codes and standards.
Following installation, do nothing that might ren-
der the system unsafe or in noncompliance with
such codes and standards.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive
belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never
remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit
is operating.
WARNING:
This product contains or emits chemicals
known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before install-
ing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become
familiar with this Owner’s Manual and with the
unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and
reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and
maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to
follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warn-
ings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed
to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using
a procedure, work method or operating technique
the manufacturer does not specifically recommend,
ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the
procedure, work method or operating technique uti-
lized does not render the generator unsafe.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-
lating air is critical to correct generator operation.
Do not alter the installation or permit even partial
blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seri-
ously affect safe operation of the generator. The
generator MUST be installed outdoors.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert
at all times. Never work on the equipment when
physically or mentally fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the
nearest Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair
or replacement.
• Before performing any maintenance on the gen-
erator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent
accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the
battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–)
first. Reconnect that cable last.
DANGER
Despite the safe design of this generator,
operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting
its maintenance or being careless can cause
possible injury or death. Permit only responsible
and capable persons to operate or maintain this
equipment.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a
step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break
parts, and may result in dangerous operating con-
ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage,
oil leakage, etc.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by
these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to
render the machine safe before attempting to
work on the generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running
generators.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all
times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National
Fire Protection Association are appropriate for
use on the standby electric system. Keep the extin-
guisher properly charged and be familiar with its
use. Consult the local fire department with any
questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• All generators covered by this manual produce
dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal
electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely
high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch
as does the standby generator when it is in opera-
tion. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,
connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure
all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in
place before operating the generator. If work must
be done around an operating unit, stand on an
insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK
MAY RESULT.
• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the
frame and external electrically conductive parts of
the generator to be connected to an approved earth
ground. Local electrical codes also may require
proper grounding of the generator electrical sys-
tem.
• After installing this home standby electrical sys-
tem, the generator may crank and start at any time
without warning. When this occurs, load circuits
are transferred to the STANDBY (GENERATOR)
power source. To prevent possible injury if such a
start and transfer occur, always set the generator’s
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its OFF position
before working on equipment and remove the 7.5A
and 15A fuses from the generator control panel.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, imme-
diately shut down the source of electrical power. If
this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from
the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement,
such as a dry rope or board, to free the victim from
the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious,
apply first aid and get immediate medical help.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip-
ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in
electric shock, or may get caught in moving com-
ponents causing injury.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any
fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com-
bustible materials are left in the generator com-
partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or
EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround-
ing the generator clean and free from debris.
• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid pro-
pane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Install
the fuel supply system according to applicable
fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home standby
electric system into service, fuel system lines must
be properly purged and leak tested according to
applicable code. After installation, inspect the fuel
system periodically for leaks. No leakage is permit-
ted.

1.3 SYSTEM SET LED
DANGER
The “System Set” LED is lit when all of the following
conditions are true:
Only qualified electricians or contractors should
attempt such installations, which must comply
strictly with applicable codes, standards and
regulations.
1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the
AUTO position.
2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is
being sensed by the PCB. If the utility sense volt-
age is not connected to the unit or if it is below
168 volts AC, then the system set light will flash
rapidly. This indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/
MANUAL switch is placed in the Auto position ,
the generator will start.
1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents
for damage.
• This standby generator set has been factory sup-
plied with a weather protective enclosure that is
intended for outdoor installation only.
3. The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFF
position on the control board.
4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pres-
sure, high temperature, etc.
If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
1.4 ACCESSORY FEATURES
source, it is required by code to install a transfer
switch. The transfer switch must effectively iso-
late the electrical system from the utility distri-
bution system when the generator is operating
(NEC 700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electri-
cal system by such means will result in damage
to the generator and also may result in injury or
death to utility power workers due to backfeed
of electrical energy.
1.4.1 12 VOLT DC OUTLET
The generator is equipped with a 12 volt DC accesso-
ry outlet located in the system control panel (Figure
1.1). With the generator running or in standby mode,
this outlet may be used to temporarily power low
power accessories such as an inspection light, cell
phone, radio or other automotive style accessory with
a 7.5 amp maximum current draw.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have
the person(s) making the delivery note all damage
on the freight bill or affix their signature under the
consignor's memo of loss or damage.
Figure 1.1 — 12 Volt DC Outlet
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate
the damaged materials and contact the carrier for
claim procedures.
“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage
to the contents of a package that is not in evidence at
the time of delivery, but is discovered later.
1.2 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Unlike an automobile engine, the generator may have
to run for long periods of time with no operator pres-
ent to monitor engine conditions. For that reason, the
engine is equipped with the following systems that
protect it against potentially damaging conditions:
1. Low Oil Pressure Sensor
2. High Temperature Sensor
3. Overcrank
4. Overspeed
5. Low Battery
There are LED readouts on the control panel to notify
the user that one of these faults has occurred. There
is also a “System Set” LED that is lit when all of the
conditions describe in Section 1.3 are true.
The 12 volt DC accessory socket is not intended
for continuous use. Power for this socket is
drawn from the engine battery. Extended use
will drain the battery and the engine may not
start. Power available at this socket is limited to
7.5 amps maximum.

NOTE:
1.10.2 TRANSFER SWITCH
The generator is equipped with a battery trickle
charger that is active when the unit is set up for
automatic operation. With the battery installed
and utility power source voltage available to the
transfer switch, the battery receives a trickle
charge while the engine is not running, to prevent
self-discharge. The trickle charger is designed to
help extend the life of the battery by maintain-
ing the battery when the unit is not running. The
trickle charge feature cannot be used to recharge
a discharged battery.
This generator should only be installed with a com-
patible transfer switch. A range of transfer switches
are offered by the manufacturer.
1.11 BATTERY INSTALLATION
If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is not set to its
OFF position, the generator can crank and start
as soon as the battery cables are connected. If
the utility power supply is not turned off, spark-
ing can occur at the battery posts and cause an
explosion.
1.12 THE BATTERY
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or super-
vised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and
the required precautions. Keep unauthorized person-
nel away from batteries.
Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if
necessary and have the battery fully charged before
installing it.
When replacing the battery, use the following type of
battery: Group 26/26R 12-volt DC, negative ground
battery with a rating of 525 cold-cranking amps mini-
mum at -17.8º C (0º F). When using a maintenance-
free battery, it is not necessary to check the specific
gravity or electrolyte level. Have these procedures
performed at the intervals specified in the “Service
Schedule.” A negative ground system is used. Battery
connections are shown on the wiring diagrams. Make
sure the battery is correctly connected and terminals
are tight. Observe battery polarity when connecting
the battery to the generator set.
Before installing and connecting the battery, complete
the following steps:
1. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to
OFF.
2. Turn off utility power supply to the transfer
switch.
3. Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera-
tor control panel.
Battery cables were factory connected at the genera-
tor (Figure 1.5). Connect cables to battery posts as
follows:
4. Connect the red battery cable (from starter con-
tactor) to the battery post indicated by a positive,
POS or (+).
5. Connect the black battery cable (from frame
ground) to the battery post indicated by a nega-
tive, NEG or (—).
DANGER
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock
and high short circuit current. The following pre-
cautions are to be observed when working on
batteries:
NOTE:
Damage will result if battery connections are made
in reverse.
• Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera-
tor control panel.
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the
battery; and
Figure 1.5 – Battery Cable Connections
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the
skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically
conductive and corrosive.

Section 2 — Post Installation Start-up and Adjustments
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately with water;
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush
thoroughly and immediately with water and seek
medical attention; and
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an
acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to
use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate
of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicar-
bonate of soda solution is to be added until the
evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The
resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the
area dried.
Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the “ADD” mark on the dipstick. Doing
this could damage the engine.
2.2 CHECK TRANSFER SWITCH
OPERATION
Refer to the transfer switch owner’s manual for man-
ual operation procedures.
DANGER
Do not attempt manual transfer switch opera-
tion until all power voltage supplies to the
transfer switch have been positively turned off.
Failure to turn off all power voltage supplies
will result in extremely hazardous and possibly
fatal electrical shock.
Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire because
they generate hydrogen gas. The
following procedures are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery;
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area; and
• Discharge static electricity from body before touch-
ing the battery by first touching a grounded metal
surface.
2.3 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Complete electrical checks as follows:
1. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its
OFF (or open) position.
Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position before connecting the battery
2. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to
cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL,
the generator can crank and start as soon as the
battery cables are connected.
the OFF position.
3. Turn OFF all loads connected to the transfer
switch terminals T1 and T2.
4. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer
switch using the means provided (such as a utility
main line circuit breaker).
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off
and the 7.5A and 15A fuses are removed from
the generator control panel, or sparking may
occur at the battery posts as the cables are
attached and cause an explosion.
DANGER
The transfer switch is now electrically “hot.”

3.2 USING THE AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
SWITCH (FIGURE 3.1)
3.2.1 “AUTO” POSITION
Selecting this switch position activates fully automat-
ic system operation. It also allows personnel to start
and exercise the engine every seven days with the set-
ting of the exercise timer (see Section 3.5).
Figure 3.1 – Generator Control Panel
NOTE:
The voltage regulator is housed inside the gen-
erator's control panel. The regulator maintains a
voltage in direct proportion to frequency at a 2-to-
1 ratio. For example, at 62 Hertz, line-to-neutral
voltage will be 124 volts.

Section 3 — Operation
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
3.2.2 “OFF” POSITION
3.4 SEQUENCE OF AUTOMATIC
This switch position shuts down the engine. This
position also prevents automatic operation.
OPERATION
The generator’s control panel houses a control logic
circuit board. This board constantly monitors util-
ity power source voltage. Should that voltage drop
below a preset level, circuit board action will signal
the engine to crank and start. After the engine starts,
the circuit board signals the transfer switch to acti-
vate and connect load circuits to the standby power
supply (load terminal lugs T1/T2 connect to terminal
lugs E1/E2).
3.2.3 “MANUAL” POSITION
Set the switch to Manual to crank and start the
engine. Transfer to standby power will not occur
unless there is a utility failure.
With the switch set to AUTO, the engine may
Upon restoration of utility source voltage above a
preset level, generator circuit board action signals the
transfer switch to transfer loads back to that power
supply. After retransfer, the engine is signalled to shut
down.
crank and start at any time without warning.
Such automatic starting normally occurs when
utility power source voltage drops below a pre-
set level or during the normal exercise cycle. To
prevent possible injury that might be caused
by such sudden starts, always set the switch to
OFF and remove the fuses before working on or
around the generator or transfer switch. Then,
place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the generator
panel and on the transfer switch.
The actual sequence of operation is controlled by
sensors and timers on a control logic circuit board,
as follows:
A. Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility source voltage.
• If utility source voltage drops below about 70
percent of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor
energizes a 15-second timer.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank
and start.
3.3 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER
OPERATION
To select automatic operation, do the following:
B. Engine Warm-up Time Delay
1. Make sure the transfer switch main contacts are
set to their “Utility” position, i.e., loads connected
to the utility power source (Figure 3.2).
2. Be sure that normal utility power source voltage
is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1
and N2.
• This mechanism lets the engine warm up for
about 10 seconds before the load is transferred
to the standby source.
C. Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility power supply volt-
age. When that voltage is restored above 70 per-
cent of the nominal source voltage, a retransfer
time delay starts timing.
3. Set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to
AUTO.
4. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON
(or closed) position.
D. Retransfer Time Delay
With the preceding steps complete, the generator will
start automatically when utility source voltage drops
below a preset level. After the unit starts, loads are
transferred to the standby power source. Refer to
Section 3.4, “Sequence of Automatic Operation.”
• This timer runs for about 15 seconds.
• At end of a 15-second delay, circuit board
action de-energizes transfer relay in the transfer
switch.
• Retransfer to utility power source then occurs.
E. Engine Cool-down Timer
• When the load is transferred back to utility power
source, the engine cool-down timer starts tim-
ing.
• The timer will run for about one minute, and the
generator will then shut down.

3.5 SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER
This generator is equipped with an exercise timer.
Once it is set, the generator will start and exercise
once every seven days, on the day of the week and at
the time of day the following sequence is completed.
During this exercise period, the unit runs for approx-
imately 12 minutes and then shuts down. Transfer of
loads to the generator output does not occur during
the exercise cycle.
A switch on the control panel (see Figure 3.1) per-
mits selection of the day and time for the system to
exercise. At the chosen time, perform the following
sequence to select the desired day and time of day the
system will exercise.
Place the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch in the AUTO
position. Push and hold the “Set Exercise Time”
switch to the ON position for approximately three
seconds and release. All five red LED’s will flash for
10 seconds. The unit will perform the standard exer-
cise sequence, then shut down. The generator will
now exercise every seven days at the time set.
3.6.3 OVERCRANK
This feature prevents the generator from damaging
itself when it continually attempts to start and anoth-
er problem, such as no fuel supply, prevents it from
starting. The unit will crank and rest for a preset
time limit. Then, it will stop cranking, and the LED
on the generator control panel will light indicating an
overcrank failure. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch
will need to be set to OFF and then back to AUTO to
reset the generator control board.
NOTE:
The exerciser will only work in the AUTO mode
and will not work unless this procedure is per-
formed. The exerciser will need to be reset every
time the 12-volt battery is disconnected and then
reconnected.
3.6 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
NOTE:
3.6.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
If the fault is not repaired, the overcrank feature
will continue to activate.
This switch (Figure 3.2) has normally closed con-
tacts that are held open by engine oil pressure dur-
ing cranking and operating. Should oil pressure
drop below the 8 psi range, switch contacts close,
and the engine shuts down. The unit should not be
restarted until oil is added. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch must then be turned to OFF and then back to
AUTO.
3.6.3.1 Approximate Crank Cycle Times
• 15 seconds ON
• 7 seconds OFF
• 7 seconds ON
• 7 seconds OFF
• Repeat for 45 seconds
Approximately 90 seconds total
3.6.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH
This switch’s contacts (Figure 3.3) close if the tem-
perature should exceed approximately 132º C (270º
F), initiating an engine shutdown. The generator will
automatically restart and the LED on the generator
control panel will reset once the temperature has
returned to a safe operating level.
3.6.4 OVERSPEED
This feature protects the generator from damage by
shutting it down if it happens to run faster than the
preset limit. This protection also prevents the gen-
erator from supplying an output that could poten-
tially damage appliances connected to the generator
circuit. Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer if this
failure occurs.

3.6.5 LOW BATTERY
4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE
The microprocessor will continually monitor the bat-
tery voltage and turn on the Low Battery LED if the
battery voltage falls below 11.0 volts for one minute.
Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which
will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises
above 11.0 volts.
OIL LEVEL
For oil capacities, see “Specifications,” Section 1.5.
For engine oil recommendations, see Section 4.3.1.
To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows
(Figures 4.2):
1. Start the generator by moving the AUTO/ OFF/
MANUAL switch to the MANUAL position. Allow
it to run for a short while and then shut it down
by moving the switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a
clean cloth.
3. Install the dipstick; then, remove it again. The oil
level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark. If nec-
essary, add oil to the “Full” mark only. DO NOT
FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
The control system will not attempt to start the
engine if there is a low battery condition, however,
if the engine is already running when the low bat-
tery condition occurs, the engine will continue to
run as long as possible.
Battery voltage is NOT monitored during the crank
cycle.
4.1 SYSTEM FUSE
The generator panel’s 15 amp fuse (Figure 4.1) pro-
tects the DC control circuit against overload. The fuse
is wired in series with the battery output lead to the
panel. If the fuse element has melted open, the engine
cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an
identical 15-amp replacement.
Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing
this could damage the engine.
4. Install the dipstick.
5. Reset the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its origi-
4.1.1 7.5 AMP FUSE
nal position.
The generator panel’s 7.5 amp fuse protects the

The battery should be inspected per the “Service
Schedule,” Section 4.13. The following procedure
should be followed for inspection:
1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness
and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries
and, if necessary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do
not use tap water in batteries.
3. Have the state of charge and condition checked.
This should be done with an automotive-type bat-
tery hydrometer.
Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position before connecting the battery
cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL,
the generator can crank and start as soon as the
battery cables are connected.
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off

Start all four screws before tightening or it will not
be possible to get all the screws in place. Make
sure the valve cover gasket is in place.
4.12.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
If the generator cannot be exercised every seven days,
and will be out of service longer than 90 days, pre-
pare the generator for storage as follows:
• Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
• Repeat the process for the other cylinder.
1. Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line
and allow the unit to shut down.
4.9 COOLING SYSTEM
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com-
partment must be open and unobstructed for con-
tinued proper operation. This includes such obstruc-
tions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.
3. Once the unit has shut down, it will signal a low
oil fault.
4. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF and
turn off the utility power to the transfer switch.
Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera-
tor control panel. Disconnect the battery cables
as outlined in “General Hazards” (page 2).
5. While the engine is still warm from running,
drain the oil completely. Refill the crankcase with
oil. See ”Engine Oil Recommendations,” Section
4.3.1.
Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the
engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it
to quickly shut down. (See Figure 4.7 for vent loca-
tions.)
The exhaust from this product gets extremely
hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass,
weeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of
the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn
from the heat of the exhaust system.
6. Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity
and classification of the oil in the crankcase.

Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
NOTE: This Emission Control Warranty Statement pertains to this product only IF the generator size is 15 kW or below.
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your new engine.* In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. Generac will warrant the emission control
system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modifica-
tion or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Generac will
repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur-
ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory
supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or
responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper maintenance or unap-
proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.
You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:
1-800-333-1322
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System
Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the “Generac Limited
Warranties for Generac Power Systems, Inc.,” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by
Generac. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in
terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where
the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe
important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty ser-
vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at one of
the following addresses:

Section 10 – Warranty
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the
date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue
for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is ...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its
authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a
warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine
manufacturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall
be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual
shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part
fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection
(4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no
charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible
for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused
by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient
to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS
Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac
ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac
engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.
Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of
such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.

allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
GENERAC’S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A
DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
